Citadel QnA & Tricks

Some of the tricks one picks up over time in the support forum.

Q&A

  • How did you change the Lobby /dotskip?room=BASEROOM to wiki?page=home?

webcit has a “-g” flag that will enter its value as the first command sent to it. (The container has a similar flag that will pass it along to webcit.) So you can do something like

webcit [other commands] -g "/dotgoto?room=Welcome"

You can put anything in there you want. I chose to go with the welcome wiki because we can control exactly what it says on the front page.


  • How do I get verbose log from citadel and webcit?

-x9 does the magic:

docker run -i –rm –network host
–volume=/usr/local/citadel:/citadel-data citadeldotorg/citadel
–http-port=8080 –https-port=8443
-x9 »citadel.out 2»citadel.err

Do what you need to do, such as [telnet](/tags/telnet) to citadel then stop the running docker with **Ctrl-C** 

> ```sh
less citadel.err
